Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Turkish Trauma & Emergency Hospital

Through its ongoing work in Lebanon, Give a Child a Brighter Future is helping strengthen emergency medical care for children by equipping a new Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the Turkish Trauma & Emergency Hospital, providing life-saving support to critically ill patients across the region.


The hospital, which reopened in November 2024, had remained inactive for years due to local challenges before being restored to address the critical shortage of hospitals in South Lebanon. Today, it stands as the only Trauma and Emergency Centre in the region, playing a vital role in delivering urgent care.



Strengthening Emergency Care for Children


At the heart of this effort is the newly equipped PICU, designed to provide specialised care for children facing severe illness or injury. The unit includes five dedicated treatment rooms fitted with essential medical equipment, including respirators, patient monitoring systems, ultrasound imaging, and diagnostic tools, ensuring that children can receive the highest level of care when they need it most.





Preparing for Critical Needs


Today, the PICU stands fully equipped and ready to welcome patients. To ensure the highest standards of care from the moment the unit becomes operational, nurses have been undergoing specialised training at the American University of Beirut Medical Center.


Once open, the unit will provide a vital safety net for families across South Lebanon, offering immediate and specialised treatment for children in life-threatening conditions. Given the ongoing conflict in the region, the hospital will also play a crucial role in treating patients who require urgent or intensive care.


This project reflects a long-term commitment by Give a Child a Brighter Future and its supporters to ensuring that every child has access to life-saving care when it matters most.

Lisa's Summer Bazaar 2026: Photos

May 10, 2026
Give a Child a Brighter Future was delighted to welcome guests, vendors, and members of the community to this year's Lisa's Summer Bazaar, held in support of children in Lebanon during a time of ongoing hardship and displacement. The bazaar was attended by Her Excellency Farah Berry, Ambassador of Lebanon to the United Kingdom, alongside a former Lebanese ambassador, whose presence made the occasion especially meaningful. Throughout the day, attendees explored a wonderful range of Lebanese-owned businesses offering food, jewellery, clothing, homeware, and more. Every contribution will help fund essential care and support for children in need, and we remain deeply grateful to everyone who attended, volunteered, and took part. We would also like to thank all the vendors and committee members whose generosity and dedication helped make the day such a success. Thanks to the incredible support shown throughout the bazaar, this year's fundraiser surpassed all expectations.
